Harvey will come to us and Mitchell will probably go to the filth or something like that.

Also, I'm not loving Lethean’s language. When it comes to what the club is planning to do, he speaks in the first person quite a bit. It sounds a bit egotistical and too self important for my liking. He's only one cog, albeit an important one. I hope he gets it right.
We are most definitely a second rate destination.

I'm a Lenny fan but I think he went home to Sydney then landed a job at GWS, might not be ready to leave yet.

I'd pretty much bank it that we will trade our first pick for multiple second rounders.

Again, another draft wasted.

We are managed by a bunch of asshats. Plain and simple.
Oh well, we tried. What about 2021? Any clues Nostra?
Yeah we will probably fold within ten years.

How do you like those apples.

Sam Mitchell - the Right Stuff?

Always impressed with his presence & focus as a player for the Hawks.
An assistant at Moorabbin & if it starts working out then the main job. :)

So was Clarkson, so was Buckley, Bomber Thompson, Scott Bros....and many others could deserve the same moniker.
Richo is a lovely bloke, a real gentleman, genuinely good guy------but can't coach.


Nee!

Yep. Keep the worst scum of the planet like Ivan Milat off this forum please. Its got nothing to do with PC. The piece of s*** is a killer of innocent and defenceless people that doesn't deserve a mention on here in any circumstance.

What next from the censor police - a list of appropriate names when talking tongue firmly in cheek on a footy forum?

I’ll be using whatever names I like btw cause politically correct point scoring on the Internet does nothing for me
